Because these were season ticket seats, their face value was $99, and the guy gave them to me for $100 each. If I tried to buy seats like that from the box office, they would be much more. The guy was nice. Also, the Bruins don't sell out every game, especially against a last-place team like Buffalo. He probably figured face-value was better than nothing. Colin,

My wife, friends and I often get to some hockey and NBA games, but we only rarely get a decent deal. If you don’t mind my asking, roughly how much dough did you shell out for the tickets?
